His is face is blue like water and he has the fearsome fangs of a jaguar. This is Tlaloc, the Aztec deity of rain, of lightning and of thunderstorms. He was one of the most powerful of the ancient deities, as he controlled the rainfall that assured a bountiful supply of fresh water. Artisans from the Angel Ceron Artisan Association create their own conception of an ancient polychrome vessel. The original piece that inspires their design can be seen in the Museo Del Templo Mayor in Mexico City.

I m fond of precolombian history and sculpture. This is one on the best representations of Tlaloc,the rain deity that I have ever seen. Praise to the artisan who made it.

Ive ordered several of these Codex pieces from Angel Ceron Artisan and they are beautiful works of art. Tezcatlipoca is amazing and I am lucky to have gotten one before they sold out. I have several others including Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl, etc. They are incredible and worth every penny. I can say that the packaging they come in is 100% secure and that I am always amazed at how professionally they are packaged and shipped. They come from Mexico and always come with a hand written note on a postcard from Palenque.
